I guess the next round of 20 questions should just go to whoever wants to do it, then. Who's up for it?

A = "people who would like to have a go"
B = "people who have already had a go"
Universal set in this case is "people who frequent this forum"

C = A intersect B'

Perhaps the next person to have a go should be in set C, assuming that C is not equal to the null set.

I can assert that C is indeed not equal to the null set.
But if D = "people who are sometimes absent for lengths of time which would hold up the game" then I am equally certain that C intersect D is not the null set.
We are looking for members of the set E = C intersect D' which is hopefully non-empty.

If a holiday is time out from looking at mersenneforum.org, then life really is a box of chocolates.

You're in set C and no-one else has expressed intent, go for it.

For reference:
B = {Uncwilly, science_man_88, Mini-Geek, lavalamp, retina}
